Bloomberg reports that the company has instituted a new rule that places a monthly $1,500 cap per employee and per agentic coding tool, including Anthropic’s Claude Code or Cursor.

They went from threatening people's jobs if they didn't use more AI, to threatening people's jobs if they use too much AI.

And it's ALL the workers' fault, the dummies. Let's replace them all with AI.

Wow, imagine if they had put that budget into paying their employees.

$1500 per employee per agent per month? So assuming that's between three agents, that's literally $4500 per employee per month that they're choosing to waste instead of just paying their employees better...

That's a lot. I recently reported a coworker who was spending over 100 euros on ai. We're a school.
